I have a thing about doctors scaring moms about their potential “big baby”. It is really hard to judge by ultrasound. I have a whole page of Big Baby Bull here.
I need to add a link to this story. A mom had a 12 pound 9 ounce baby girl vaginally. Everything went smoothly. Mom was unmedicated and her birthing time was about 5 hours.
Your body grows the perfect size baby for YOU!
I think families add to this sometimes too. Both my SILs had big babies and everyone else loves to tell me that I probably will too since my husband is such a big guy and “good thing you have the hips for it.” Are you calling me FAT???
I just read PUSHED and that book has completely changed everything I believe about so-called “complicated” births. I am no longer afraid and now I am totally fine having a big baby. Besides, the fat doesn’t coat the skull (and that’s the hard part).
Thanks for sharing!
